About this build
The classic 2×2 reactor block for a growing factory: every reactor has two neighbours, which gives 480 MW from four fuel cells at a time. It has 4 nuclear reactors, 48 heat exchangers and 96 steam turbines.
Maxiume built it for his nuclear power tutorial, which walks through placing it and fuelling it. The numbers behind reactor layouts are in the nuclear reactor ratio guide.

Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 64 × 69 tiles.
- It works in the base game without Space Age.
- It includes roboports, so it can extend your logistic network and let robots build the rest.
- It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
